25. The Morphology of Dogs | A Conversation with Dr. Elaine Ostrander, Chief and Investigator of the Cancer Genetics and Comparative Genomics Branch at the National Institutes of Health

In this week's conversation, we speak with Dr. Elaine Ostrander about all things dogs and why they look like they do. In layman's terms, Dr. Ostrander explains how dogs don't often look like their closest genetic relatives, the wolf. She answers the long standing question and for us the mystery, of how Freddy the Great Dane doesn't look like Franky the Dachshund. We might even have those fancy Victorians to thank for it.
